‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ Trailer Promises Apes With Guns

Sorry, Caesar, but if the final trailer for “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” is any indication, war is happening, whether you like it or not.

From the trailer, which hit the movie’s official Twitter feed late Wednesday, it looks like Caesar is trying to go out of his way to avoid conflict, but forces on both sides of the ape-human divide seem to be itching for a fight.

Since the events of “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” Caesar (Andy Serkis) has blossomed into what appears to be a noble leader of a growing and evolving ape society. He’s not the only one that speaks anymore — one of his hairy brethren accuses him of loving humans more than apes — and it looks like a hierarchy is forming.

Humanity, meanwhile, has largely been decimated by what’s become known as the “simian flu,” although it was human lab experiments that created the microscopic monster. While some, such as Jason Clarke’s character, appear to want peace with the apes, others — like Gary Oldman’s character — are wary and feel threatened.
